Student Spotlight

"Studying at Pfeiffer was the best decision I ever made. During my freshman year, my mom battled cancer. I lost her during exam week. Without the people here, I would not have made it — they are my family. Pfeiffer is such a loving place; it is a true home to me. I can’t imagine being anywhere else."
